News 8 is reaching out to people here in the Susquehanna Valley who may have friends and family in Paris.

News 8 is continuing to follow breaking news from Paris. We have received reports that at least 127 people are dead after a series of attacks in the city.

Multiple sources, including a French medical official, say the death toll keeps growing. Over 100 more were held hostage.

There are multiple incidents, and it's not known if or how they're connected.

A French CNN affiliate lists at least 11 dead after a shooting at a Paris restaurant. Witnesses say they saw masked men firing in all directions. More were killed at the Bataclan Theater, where a hostage situation is also taking place.

There were also two explosions - about half an hour apart - outside of the soccer stadium, where France and Germany were playing a friendly match.

The French president was at that game, but left to hold an emergency meeting.

The U.S. Homeland Security Department says they are monitoring the Paris attacks, but there is no known, credible threat against the U.S.

Here's some updates from our affiliate CNN:

Dozens of people are reported dead after a series of what appear to be coordinated attacks across Paris late Friday. A hostage situation is continuing at a concert hall.

• French President Francois Hollande, in an address to the nation, said he had declared a state of emergency, meaning borders will be closed. "We have to show compassion and solidarity and we also have to show unity and keep our cool. France must be strong and great," he said.

• The Paris prefecture of police is instructing residents to stay home. The prefecture said via Twitter that people should stay inside "unless there's an absolute necessity."

• French authorities have launched a terrorism investigation, Eric Pelletier, a reporter with Le Pariesien, tells CNN Paul Cruickshank. There has been no official claim of responsibility, though ISIS has applauded the attacks on Twitter, Cruickshank reports.

• "This is an attack not just on Paris, not just on the people on France, but an attack on all humanity and the universal values we share," U.S. President Barack Obama said at the White House. He called the attacks an "outrageous attempt to terrorize innocent civilians."

• At least 127 people have died in the attacks, CNN affiliate BFMTV reported.

• At least six shootings took place in Paris and three explosions took place at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis late Friday, CNN affiliate BFMTV said. Two or three gunmen entered the Bataclan concert hall while opening fire on law enforcement, BFMTV reported. A source earlier told CNN there were six to eight hostage takers, citing a person they were talking to inside the venue.

• A CNN producer who is at the Bataclan says that police are firing at a rooftop position near the venue.

• Hollande was evacuated at halftime of the France-Germany soccer match.

• Hollande, Prime Minister Manuel Valls and Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve are holding a crisis meeting at the Interior Ministry to address the attacks in Paris and the explosions in Saint-Denis, according to BFMTV.

• Counterterrorism officials around the United States have convened secure conference calls to try to gather information and to assess whether there is any indication of threats in the U.S, according to two U.S. counterterrorism officials. There is nothing to indicate any threat to U.S. cities so far. Immediate suspicion for the events in Paris falls to so-called returnees -- people who have traveled to Syria and Iraq and have returned, the officials said.
